Aim:
- To strengthen the concept of multiplication of fraction
- To understand different types of multiplication of fraction
- To apply multiplication of fraction concept understanding with fraction bars
1. Decide 3 multiplication of fraction: 1 whole number times fraction, 1 fraction times whole number, 1 fraction times fraction
e.g. 3 x ¾ , 1/3 x 2, 3/7 x 2/3
2. Draw the fraction bars to show the concept of multiplication of fraction for each problem. Remember you have to label the fraction for each fraction bar
3. Write the description of how you do the working out of the problem
4. Write the working out for each problem once you found the answer by drawing the fraction bars.
